01 When to buy cheap airline tickets
Some people who are planning to travel abroad buy plane tickets months in advance because they are afraid that there will be no seats available if they purchase the tickets right before the trip.
However, August is the most expensive month for air tickets because Koreans mainly go on vacation or school vacation in August. The cheapest month to fly is November.
Rather than purchasing a flight ticket in advance out of fear of not having an airline ticket, you can purchase it at a cheaper price by purchasing it at the times below.
✅ Flight tickets in November are relatively cheap. (For reference, August, a typical vacation season, is the most expensive.)
✅ We recommend making a reservation at least 6 to 9 weeks before departure. (Basic 30%~50% discount, up to 70%~80% discount depending on airline)
✅ Purchase day: It is recommended to purchase between 2:00 am and 4:00 am on Tuesday, or on Sunday.
✅ Departure time: It is recommended to do so at dawn or at night.
✅ Departure days: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday are recommended.
✅ Arrival day: Monday or Tuesday is recommended.

✅ The cycle of special price promotions is similar for each airline every year. Therefore, if you check the previous year’s discount information and prepare accordingly, you can purchase airline tickets at a cheaper price.
✅ For special price tickets or missed tickets, go to each airline’s website and select ‘event tickets’ to increase your chances of securing them first.
😒 Disadvantages of missed flights
There is a high possibility that there is no airline ticket suitable for your travel period.
In the case of extremely special airline tickets, card payment may not be possible in some cases.
Since there is limited departure date, you often have to make a deposit at the same time as making a reservation.
If you are traveling with a child, you often have to buy a plane ticket at the adult price.

03 Get discount information on airline websites
✅ If you mainly fly with one airline, you can purchase airline tickets at a discounted price by taking advantage of the frequent customer loyalty program or airline mileage system.
✅ If you sign up for airline mileage, you can earn mileage or points that can be exchanged for flight upgrades and other benefits.
✅ If you travel abroad a lot, we recommend looking into credit cards that provide airline mileage (points) and using a credit card that accumulates a lot of mileage.

04 Flight comparison and reservation site (Skyscanner)
🛫 What is Skyscanner?
Skyscanner is a flight, rental car and hotel search engine. With access to all major airlines and travel retailers, you can easily compare flight prices and other travel deals in one place. Once you find the most affordable flight, rental car, or hotel, you can book directly through the seller.
🛫Are you booking a flight on the Skyscanner site?
Skyscanner is a search engine, not a sales agency, so once you find a flight you like on Skyscanner, you’ll need to go to the relevant airline or travel agent site to make a reservation. On the retailer’s site, you can enter your loyalty program membership information or select the options you want for your flight (e.g. seat reservations).
🛫 Can I search for hotels on Skyscanner?
of course! We use the same technology we use to find flights to find hotel deals around the world.
😒 Things to keep in mind
Refunds may not be possible for airline tickets purchased at special discounts, so please check whether refunds are possible before purchasing.
